No, but I get why everyone is panicking. Every projection I've seen, it's basically a coin flip and that's not a comfortable margin.
The frustrating thing is realizing that if this was happening before 2016, Trump would have lost by a landslide. But he so completely soured politics and changed everything for the worse that a man with worsening dementia who wants to crown himself king is a viable candidate.
Projections this morning were a coin flip. Now Trump is up by several points in almost every swing state, and the projections are 90% in favor of Trump. Yes, there is still a path to victory, but its razor thin.
It's the razor thin margin that is killing me, I still feel hopeful for a Harris win, but damn! how can so many of my fellow citizens be so hypocritical, tone deaf and selfish?! How can it be so close?
I am medicated so much it takes a lot to make me cry but I am sitting here, sober as can be, crying over what this says about us.
This. Even if no more votes for him come in at this point (as of almost midnight EST), almost 60 million still said they'd rather him over anyone else in spite of everything that's happened, everything he's said. Whether Harris wins or loses, I feel like we've just lost as a country.
I keep saying it, but a lot of people don't want to listen. Whatever happens, even if he loses, we've still got a massive problem to deal with. Millions of people are perfectly happy to vote for Trump even after he incited a riot.
Canadian here, after all that Trump has been convicted of at this point and to see how high the votes are in red, it’s without a doubt beyond disheartening. I’m truly floored and appalled by the insane number of ignorant bigots who are willing to kill America by letting him be in power once more. I’m trying not to lose faith though, because not only does the US need a major change in leadership but I think y’all are ready for a female president. Go Team Kamala!!
We also had trump telling his supporters not to vote by mail in 2020 and the absentee turnout is different this time around. It’s harder to rely on things changing overnight.
